About

CountryLove is a series of exploitables featuring two girls, one of them groping the other's breasts, usued to represent humorous despictions of countries and ethnicities relationships on several 4chan boards.

Origin

The original picture was originally posted on 4chan's politics board /pol/ on February 3rd, 2015, submitted by an Australian poster in reply to a New Zealander poster complaining about how their refutals weren't taken seriously due their country flag.^[1] The art features a blonde girl (despicted as Australia) grabbing a breast from a naked brunette girl (despicted as New Zealand).

Spread

On February 11th, 2015, a thread submitted on /pol/ featured an edited version of the original picture, with Australia as United States and New Zealand as Canada.^[2] During the following months, the exploitable remaint dormant, but saw a rise in late May 2016 due a /pol/ thread submitted on May 28th, featuring America wearing a MAGA hat and groping Mexico through a wall, in reference to Donald Trump's anti-mexican remarks. The thread also contained variations featuring other countries.^[3] During the following weeks, a template was created and several threads were made, mainly on /pol/ and /int/.^[5][7] On July 2nd, an anonymous user titled the exploitable as "countryLove",^[4] name that would be used to refer to the picture.^[6][8]
